GRAND RAPIDS, Mich (WOTV) — A big warm comforting pasta bowl on a chilly fall day doesn’t have to mean the extra calories and carbs that come with traditional pasta noodles if you use kale instead. Let’s call it a kale bowl. Maybe you need to stay away from gluten, you’re working to get fit, or you LOVE your luscious dark leafy greens (or all of the above, like me!). Well, you’re in luck.

Use baby kale as an alternative to pasta! Kale is a dark leafy green packed with vitamins. Eating it raw gives your body 100% of the nutrition and enzymes it has to offer. Just pour your favorite warm pasta sauce over it and enjoy. Wholesome, healthy, and so easy!

I love this because I can make one great sauce for the whole family, boil traditional noodles for them and there is no extra work for me to have a fabulous low cal, low carb, high rawktane meal that keeps me warm and makes my soul happy. Think it’s too good to be true? try it yourself.
